The #cornholeboards that I have been working on went to their new home today. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames

One set of #cornholeboards complete with #cornholebags ready to go to the customer. I normally like to put them out on the lawn to take a picture, but it hasn't stopped raining. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames #painting #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

Hopefully this is the final coat of #minwax #polycrylic #waterbased #polyurethane for this #cornholeboard #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #iamcornholio #cornholeboards #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

The #cornholeboard on the left is finished, except for putting the #sisalrope handle on. The one to its right needs two more coats of #minwax #polycrylic #waterbased #polyurethane . And you'll notice the #birchplywood for another set of #cornholeboards to the right of that. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #iamcornholio #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

I think a #squirrel was trying to get out of the #rain to enjoy a #walnut but was probably scared off when I went to open the door. Either that, or a squirrel left us a #gift

[thomasjopray]

I attached a #brass #chain to the #sapele and #walnut #box to keep the lid from swinging too far (I worked on it while waiting for poly to dry on another project.) I ended up taking a link out of the chain after this picture was taken. Of course, I used my #dewalt #20voltmax #hammerdrill to #drill the #pilothole for the #screw . That's about the smallest space I can fit it into. I think that I'm going to invest in a right angle drive. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #boxes #boxbuilding #whenindoubtmakeabox #ifindoubtmakeabox #maythegrainbewithyou #buildingboxes #palletwood #dewalttough

I know it doesn't look like it, but that's two coats of #minwax #polycrylic #waterbased #polyurethane on that #cornholeboard #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #iamcornholio #cornholeboards #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #finishing #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

I took a little break from #finishing a set of #cornholeboards to pick up some #lumber at the #lumberyard for another one. Now, I have lunch before #applying #polyurethane to the first set. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio

Time to let the #inkjet #transfer rest, or #dry before #applying the #firstcoat of #minwax #polycrylic #waterbased #polyurethane #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames #painting #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep #cornholeboards

One #inkjet #transfer done!

I also lightly #scuff the #stained surface with some #steelwool to make it easier for the ink to stick to the #cornholeboards #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames #painting #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

I use pieces of #maskingtape to outline where the #graphic is going, so when I go to #apply it, I can get it on to the #cornholeboards straight. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames #painting #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

It's funny, but #minwax #earlyamerican230 #stain looks like #walnut on this scrap of walnut. Somehow, I figured that it would look different. #woodworking #carpentry #staining #finishing

[thomasjopray]

I have applied #minwax #earlyamerican230 #oilbased #stain to two #cornholeboards and their legs. I will apply the #graphics in the morning, and have at least the #firstcoat of #minwax #polycrylic #waterbased #polyurethane by noon. I like to apply at least 3 coats. #woodworking #carpentry #customcarpentry #madetoorder #madetoordercarpentry #custom #imsocrafty #craftybastard #cornhole #cornholeboard #backyardfun #tailgating #lawngames #backyardgames #iamcornholio #birchplywood #pine #funandgames #painting #theproofisinthefinish #prepwork #thekeytoagoodfinishisprep

@jay_gerry82 I picked up some #denaturedalcohol to #thin out the #shellac and it helped.
